Princess' Elizabeth packet., arrived it Falmouth, froM Lisbon, Government' have . re. ceited dispatches from the Allied, der Lord WELLINGTON, dated Alverca, the 23d . at which date the bombardment of-Almeida, had mot commenced. Eleven batteriermOnnted with • cad .. • • non of large calibre bad been brought frpm Ciudad Rodrigo. We this morning received some more Cadiz..Pa*- pers, and are nappy to find that the, intelligence in general continues to be 'favourable. The flying co- lun - ns.of the Spaniards harass the French in every • direilion, and have even alai - Med the Usurper in his Capital. It is stated in an article fiora Madrid, that the Banditii had advanced to the very gates of that City, and JuSEPLI was so alarmed that he gave-or ders. for packing the tapeStry, and all the - valtiable movables of the Palace, preparatory to. a second flight. The - same article mentions a rumour.thal BUONA'PAIITE has it in contemplation to :Top elan from Spain, to . divide that Kingdom into -four departments to be governed by SEBASTIAN!, JUNOT, SOULS', and BELLIARD, and to place MASSENA on the Throne of Portugal. With. regard to the former part of the report, BUONAPAILTE has it -certainly in his power to remove JOSEPiI as easily as he did Lewis' frotii.thp throne of I-161104, but with res. pea to, the cffilaion of Spain, and fsving.ll , lAsszba, the Crown of Portugal, we mist - begin - observe, that he must conquer these Kingdoms first, an ..we are happy to add, that that event seems much more improbable at present than it has been for some time past: The garrison of Tcrtosa continue to make the most gallant defence; ttiere are, ,indeed, some reports ‘hat the French have abandoned the attack up= that I lace. We have conmenced a&ive operations at Cadiz ,against the enemy. That excellent' °dicer, Capt. COCKBURN, sailed on the 25tb August, the day be fore the packet came away, from Cadiz, with three sloops of war, several gun-boats, flat-boats, & c. and a convoy, having on board between three and four thousand men ; bu; the object has not transpired. We have seen a private letter from Cadiz, which Oates, that such' vast abundance of , provisions and live stock have -been thrown into that city, that: although the inhabitants and the army, including the Isle of Leon, amount to nearly 1.60,000 souls, every thing was cheaper: than they .had been for some years' before. Numbers of Americans come in with live stock on board. • WE have given in the , first page a copy of-a Dis patch transmitted to the Lieutenant-Governor of Curacoa, in consequence of the recent events which' have taken place in; the Caraccas. It is a document of great itnportance:, and exp Was, in the clearest 'and moit satisfactory manner, the liheral and en-: lightened principles which govern the conduct of la Majesty's Government towards Spain and her Colonies. • Orders were on Sunday received in Chatham dock-yard, to• expedite the.fitting of the 10mulic; and Agincourt, t..;0 of the ships appropriated for the reception of troops, as well as to urge the equip ment of all the line of battle ships previously direct ed to be got ready. Lord - and Lady HOLLAND are preparing to take their departure for Gibraltar, where they intend to 'remain till the Meeting of Parliament. On Friday noon last a balloon, 33 feet high, and 45 in circumference, , was launched from the Park of B.

' MADRID, Jut the night, between the. .s . fh and Gth itts. the guards in the'- Teatro del i'riti. cipe were doubled, and at"the moment the King went to the palaCe, the, Whole garrison _was under . arms, occupying the squares and avenues. A Conn. cil of State- , was held.; the rounds were gone by General -BELLIARD in person ; and,' in short, there . . ,was a great confusion• ddring the night, which was increased - by a storm and torrents 1;f raid; which lasted 'till day-light, Tile cituse of this extraordinary disturbance was slid to be the -ad vance of some parties of brigands to the palate called Casa del Campo and the gates. It even ap pear 4 that there was some fertnentation in the Retiro. To cover their alarm they circulated a thousand stories, etideavonting to make us believe that the life - of the • King had been attempted in the palace, orthat it was intended to surprise and carry burn off "atThe - playi ancl . to give this better colour, all the 1 16tlieC4jOining . to thelheat.re were searche=d, and several .persons.taken into custody for discoursing in their own houses On the . tepies of the day.

JOSEPU pretends that his brother has sent for him, and that he can not do less than'obey him at least this is what is given out.to the people here. This evening those who take care of the tapestry at . the Palace have received orders . to - take it down and, pack it - up, and at the same time the whole of the usual equipage. FROM TIC CADIZ GAZETA, COMZRCIO, AUG. 14. We knOW. that the : enemy who attacked Turtosa abwioned,tliat enterprize on the .9th July, as well lionath-e , brave resistance of the place as by the of .:;tie army, which had 'advanced to Mo-' re.lla, and had no other objea than to make a diver sion in favour of 'that place. A letter from Seron (in the Province of Seroi) dated ilth Suly, says, the 91h inst. was a me morable day-for Almazan, where were the 2J bat talion of Numaulines of .560 men, and the party of Mcntio winch had •accadentllly arrived there tho preceeding niiiht. - Siletarrison of Soria, about t5OO mep, attacko,them i own w ith the greatest vio lence., and oaradefended it with not less enthusiasm The anion' lasted seven hours, and ended by abandoning' the place to superiority of force. Our loss consisted of 50 men, and that of the enemy, we are assured, to 200 killed and wounded. 'Vo 7 day passed this place 150 French, made pfiAopers . by the party of MINA, between Tudela and r Pampelnna. • Another letter, dated Infusla, July 17, says-:-- " VILLACAMPA, on the 13t1i, .made g 5 prison ers m Calamaka, and the next day Marched to sur prise those in Daroca. " Calatayud and Daroca have been taken by assault. by General V/LLACAMPA ; 25 prisoners were takehi among others, two degenerate Spaniards of Malaga and Granada, who had, entered into the French service. ,They- were shot the next clay.

The Al:my. of the Centre, on the ,gth, entered Murcia and its advanced r guards. -approached' the • frontiers of Andalusia. The accounts received from Gallicia came d , wn to the 2d of Aug. An official report, of the date of the'23d - 'Aily, received by the Tunta there, states, , . that the enemy having entered the 'province-Of .Liebana - with teoo - men, were beaten and 'driven. out by the brave peasantry, ,with the loss of killOd, 4 prisoners, and.wore than 200 wounded.. They repeatedTheir•incursion, bUt could advance ably one league tnTama, and finding the vigorous resistance opposed, to them, they' retired silently 'in , the night. InAhis'expedition, they had the unheard of barbarity p - ,1 kill with their bayonets *a yotith of fourteen years - of age who kept a flock near Tama ; but they paid dearly for thii atrocious ad, as they left behind AO killed, and carried away with thein 160 wounded. • .The Provineesare in complete. insurreetion, and . the party of .CozytuLts has -been increased by 'more than 6000 peasants and several sachet's; TARRAGONA, JULY 24.--Colorr'el . ,Don DANIEL • Q'SLYI 4 . tIVAN . ; commanding the battalion of the dis tinguished' volunteers of, Ekonia have repored that an enemy's force consisting of six hundred loot and eighty horse . , with an howir zerandanother piece of ordnance, appeared , before, Bulgair, with the in tention of rendering t hemSekesimisters of the brrdge, but they were repulsed in the' two attacks which they made, for that purpose, and afterwards pursued by a detachment commanded by Don Don J. M. CoLunr, and, Don .F. Cur.BANA, both Captains in the corps of volunteers. of Ultona. This pursuit, which lasted upwards of three hours, cost the enemy, in killed and wounded, 100 men ; fivt men were made. prisoners, and one piece of cannon and_ some horses taken. Our loss consists in three killed and to wounded. CADIZ, AUG. 24.—Our accounts from Tortosa come down to the 10th instant ; they state, that on the 4th inst. the garrison made a sucsoisful sally, in which the enemy was, dislodged from all his works. It also. appears by the said accounts, that on the 9th of last month, the enemy triade a most furious attack on the bridge head ; for some time the fire or& both sides was truly infernal. Being repulsed, he returned to the charge, but was again beaten Off with . great . loss. During the conflict, the the passage of the bridge was exclusively dan gerous on account of the shower of balls which crossed it without intermission; but the heroines of 7.'ortooa, animated with the spirit of men, and aspiring at the glory of the immortal women of Saragossa, passed and repassed the 'bridge with the tit mo,t intrepidity, carrying brandy and wine to their gallant defenders who fought in the batteries. Two of them being wounded, Government has rewarded their merit by granting them the distinetion of a medal of honour, and a pension of too Catalonian 1;171 . 6 per annum. MURCIA, AUGUST 10.--Lieut.
